How do you acknowledge and give yourself permission to process both the big and small losses of life?

We all go through difficult times, and sometimes, you might find yourself carrying a sense of sadness, or a heaviness that’s difficult to articulate. These moments might catch you off-guard—especially if you have a great life. But keeping them inside can be very catastrophic to your present, your future, and the way you perceive your past.

My guest today is acclaimed grief educator, Christina Rasmussen. Christina has helped countless people break out of, what she calls, “the waiting room of grief”. She’s also the author of several books, and is here today to talk about her brand-new book, Invisible Loss: Recognizing and Healing the Unacknowledged Heartbreak of Everyday Grief

There are often every day invisible losses that get brushed aside because they’re deemed not important enough. But the hurt parts of yourself, even going all the way back to childhood, are still inside you and want to be seen. Listen in as Christina shows you how you can bring those pieces of yourself forward, effectively exiting that waiting room, so you can heal and thrive.

What if there was a scientific approach to manifesting your biggest dreams?

Manifesting can be seen as wishful thinking. Even people who believe in it tend to think of it as the law of attraction rather than the brain playing an active role. But it’s possible to make your goals a reality by harnessing the power of your brain, your mind, and your body.

To dive into this topic, I’m excited to welcome Dr. James Doty to the show today. Dr. Doty is a neurosurgeon and faculty member of Stanford’s School of Medicine since 1997. Among his many achievements, he’s dedicated part of his career exploring the mysteries of the brain. He’s here to talk about his book, Mind Magic: The Neuroscience of Manifestation and How It Changes Everything.

Your brain is an extraordinary tool that allows you to do what many believe is impossible. By embedding something deeply in your subconscious, it’s always on alert for any opportunity to make that connection and manifest your intention. Listen in as Dr. Doty delves into how your brain networks, your nervous system, and even the electromagnetic field of your hearts play a crucial role in shaping your reality.

What is actually happening in your brain when you’re in a stressed-out state of mind?

Even though stress has become an inescapable part of daily life, that doesn’t mean all stress is bad. You need a certain amount of stress to reach a state of productivity and focus. But your brain registers negative information more than positive. That’s why it’s important to learn how to combat stress effectively so that it doesn’t harm your nervous system and brain.

I’m excited to welcome Nicole Vignola to our show today. Nicole is a neuroscientist and organizational consultant who makes neuroscience tangible for the masses. She’s here to talk about her brand-new book, Rewire: Break the Cycle, Alter Your Thoughts, and Create Lasting Change.

It might be a surprise, but you’re not hard-wired to stay in specific thought patterns. Your brain has plasticity that makes it capable of redesigning new neural pathways based on your choices. But if you always give in to an urge, you’re going to reinforce your response to that behavior. Listen in as Nicole explains why negativity bias can be so powerful and shares tools to help you regulate your stress response.

Is there a roadmap for growth and success?

When it comes to setting goals, believing something is possible is only one part of the equation. You also have to believe the work is important. But if you want to achieve truly long-lasting results that you can maintain and grow well into the future, you have to build a solid foundation first.

I’m excited to welcome our CEO, Alexis Banc, back to the show today. We’re going to talk about how you can build a mental model that leads to true fulfillment. This process can help support you in making the positive change towards success.

Satisfaction and fulfilment are found in learning and growing so that you have more to give and more to share. But before you can model anyone’s beliefs, habits, or routines to reverse engineer how they got there, you have to know what phase you’re in. Listen in as Alexis and I give you a framework that takes you through the four stages of growth so you can start in the right place and achieve limitless results.

The New Frontier of Autism Research & Factors We Need to Consider with Dr. Karen Parker

Has our understanding of autism changed how we treat and diagnose the disorder?

According to the CDC, one in thirty-six children in the US have autism. Unlike many other medical conditions, the diagnosis of autism is based purely on behavior. That ignores the environmental and genetic factors that can contribute to autism. It can also cause children to be misdiagnosed for years in their early development. But this might start to change.

I’m excited to welcome Dr. Karen Parker to the show today. Dr. Parker directs the Social Neurosciences Research Program at Stanford University. She seeks to understand the biological basis of social functioning to drive diagnostic and treatment advances in people with social impairment.

Autism is a very poorly understood disorder and there are still many obstacles in the field of autism research. But exciting research coming out of Stanford University might lead to pivotal insights into a new theory about a key driving force for autism. Listen in as Dr. Parker shares her insights on autism research, contributing factors, and how early interventions and treatments can help your child.
